Product Description

The Agave filifera is a striking succulent native to Mexico's arid landscapes, particularly from Valparaiso Zacatecas. This species is famous for its dense rosette of slender, dark green leaves edged with fine white threads. The Red Form variant enhances its appeal by showing a subtle reddish hue on leaf tips, adding vibrant contrast to any garden or collection. This Mexican agave stands out as a true desert jewel.

Agave filifera plants develop sharp spines along the leaf margins and a sturdy terminal spine that defines their silhouette. These plants grow compactly but can reach an impressive height, making them an excellent centerpiece agave for xeriscaping. Their rosettes create a symmetrical and architectural look that captures attention throughout the year.

  • Leaves feature delicate white filaments along edges.
  • Distinctive reddish leaf tips highlight the Red Form variety.
  • Sharp spines protect the plant in dry environments.
  • Compact growth suits rock gardens and patios.
  • Architectural rosettes provide year-round visual interest.

The Mexican desert agave adapts well to harsh conditions and showcases unique textures and colors. Its bold form and subtle red accents make the Agave filifera Red Form a captivating addition for enthusiasts and landscape designers alike. This Agave brings both resilience and striking beauty to any collection or outdoor space.
